Alex Jones	Tuesday 04 November 2003 10:25:27 am There is a known problem with IE when using the XML declaration and a doctype, which is quite frustrating. Try eliminating the XML declaration and moving the character encoding to a meta tag. That should fix it. There is a pretty good discussion of this available at A List Apart: http://www.alistapart.com/discuss/doctype/ The discussion relates to the article "Fix Your Site With the Right DOCTYPE!"

David Syers	Wednesday 05 November 2003 6:23:04 am Thanks for the pointer Alex. I turns out it was after adding some code before the HTML was output. eZ was producing whitespace and IE didn't like the fact that the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> was not the first line of the output. Fixed the whitespace and IE is now happy again!

Thanks for the pointer Alex.

I turns out it was after adding some code before the HTML was output. eZ was producing whitespace and IE didn't like the fact that the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> was not the first line of the output.

Fixed the whitespace and IE is now happy again!
